Subject:  [PATCH V13 0/7] Rust support for powerpc
Date:  Fri, 24 Apr 2026 11:17:35 +0530
Message-ID:  <20260424054742.45832-1-mkchauras@gmail.com>

Enable experimental rust support for ppc64le and ppc32be. The patch for
ppc32 has been provided by Link Mauve[1] and ppc64le support[2] has been
merged over it. ppc32 needs some toolchain fixes mentioned in the patch
`rust: Add PowerPC support` and the discussion for that is done here[1].

This has been tested on
- powernv9 hardware
- pseries P11 hardware
- pseries(9, 10) qemu
- powernv(9, 10) qemu
- rustdoc on x86 and powerpc64le
- rusttest on x86 and powerpc64le

We are actively working with our LLVM team to get the target for ppc,
ppc64 and ppc64le in the rust compiler.

Changelog:
V12 -> V13:
- Added a patch for fixing build issue on ppc32 by Link Mauve
- Added another patch to fix a build issue in dma-buf
- Added another patch to enforce minimum `rustc` version for powerpc

- Documentation removed as powerpc is still under development
- Added a fix for race condition in rust/Makefile
V6: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260210090023.2587534-1-mkch...

V5 -> V6:

- rust support has been marked experimental
- target.json dependency has been removed
- HAVE_RUST now depends on CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN for PPC64
